Into Mulch
I got home from work to find that Management had mulched all of our gardens today.
I have seven, maybe eight sunflowers that survived the mulching. Two don’t look too healthy though.
I don’t know why I bother.

The Starfish.
A Parable for My Times. The starfish is a carnivore, a predator. There are different varieties of starfish, each with its own Epicurean specialty. The ones here in the Northeast prey on mollusks such as clams and oysters. They are voracious, and a single starfish can eat as many as 50 clams in six days….

bite your tongue! WINTER? oh no, give me warmth.
of course, my kitties are lounging in A/C. cacti in a window box sounds great!
What about a fruit and cheese tray? Lots of melon, apples, pineapple & grapes with a couple different types of cheese to off set the sweetness of the fruit.
OK, now I’m hungry.

How about a crisp as a goodie option? After reading your post earlier, I got to thinking about what might constitute unusual. I posted one of our favorites; Rhubarb Crisp.
Of course, given your heat wave, ice cream sounds good too. Oooo ice cream over Rhubarb Crisp. yummmm
I like allimom’s suggestion about the fruit and cheese tray. You might add some olives or something to it, also.
Sorry to hear about your pansies. They are fragile where the heat is concerned. Last year was strange though as I managed to get all of mine though the summer looking pretty good *shrugs*.
Well, to put it none too delicately, SHIT. I am assuming that you have asked them to advise you before they do anything like that?
Freakin’ flower killers.
Is this the garden up off your patio or the one with the Canterbury Bells?
Did they give any warning or explanation for why they did this? I would pitch three kinds of a fit to them if that happened to me.
